Abstract

In support of the European Union's (EU) energy polices to increase the production of bioenergy, the production and use of Solid Recovered Fuels (SRF) were researched within the European Union's 6 and 7 research and development framework programs. It was shown that the use of SRF, which are produced from non-hazardous wastes, are a viable option to reduce fossil CO emissions, protect natural resources, recover energy from low polluting wastes, reduce landfill 2 disposal, stimulate regional economies, etc. Thus, the use of high quality SRF, e.g., in cement kilns and Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plants, working according to the EU Waste Incineration Directive (WID), is considered a tool for a resilient solid waste management strategy in smart cities of the future. This could also include urban planning that has an infrastructure for use of SRF in waste-to-energy plants or in waste-to-cement plants. A quality management system in accordance with RAL-GZ 724 guarantees reliable and high qualities of the produced fuel. Adding online analysis technology multiplies available analytical information and helps to improve SRF-quality additionally. Thus, combustion of SRF in CHP-plants or co-processing of a high quality SRF in cement kilns in combination with recycling of valuable materials like Fe-/NF metals should be a viable concept to implement for any smart city, regardless of the population size and location, with slight modifications to suit local conditions.
